Just want to make sure on everyone before my husband sends them to the freezer this week. These are supposed to be sexed pullets but I think I have a pair. 8 weeks old

I only think the one marked in blue is a boy. It is larger, thicker, redder, and has a slightly fluffier more downward tail than the other. Sorry the pics aren't the best, getting people to hold chicks for pics is hard enough, full sized birds it's nearly impossible...
He very well may be, but at this point he is showing no rooster feathering. If they were mine, I would wait before killing him. Besides he'll gain weight. A young Brahma that age is mostly bone and very little meat.
I'm pretty sure you are right that he's a boy, but like sourland, I'm not confident enough to make a life or death decision about it.
